Pakistan Government Tenders & Contract Awards (PPRA EPMS)

Get Pakistan federal government tenders and awarded contracts from the PPRA e-Publish & Monitoring System (EPMS) as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. EPMS is run by the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority. Federal ministries, divisions, armed forces units and state-owned companies publish their tenders and contract awards there.

• Open tenders with closing date and time, opening time, bid security, bid validity, sector, procurement category, method and the buying office.
• Contract awards with the winning company, its address, the contract value and the tender value in PKR, the number of bids received and the signing date.
• Filters for keywords, sector, category, tender type, local or international, organization, city, date and minimum contract value.
• Alerts: turn on onlyNew and schedule it. Each run returns only records you have not received yet.

Who uses this

• Suppliers and contractors in Pakistan see new federal tenders in their sector every morning.
• Foreign exporters and their local agents find international tenders and the agencies that buy their products.
• Sales and bid teams track which companies win contracts, at what price, and against how many bidders.
• Analysts, journalists and consultancies study federal spending by agency, sector and value.

Notes on the fields

2. Click Save as a new task.
3. In the task, open Schedules and add a daily schedule, for example 07:00 Pakistan time.
4. Add an integration (email, Slack, webhook, Google Sheets) to the task if you want the new rows sent to you.

Each run then returns only the tenders and awards published since the last run. The first run returns everything that matches, up to maxItems.

Pricing

• Tender delivered: $0.005 per tender that passes your filters and is stored in your dataset ($5 per 1,000).

Filtering is free. You pay only for records delivered. maxItems caps the cost of any run.

Limits

• EPMS covers federal procurement under PPRA rules. Provincial portals (Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan) are separate and are not included.
• On 21 October 2026 the portal listed 2,188 active tenders and 880 contract awards. 87 of the active tenders were advertised on 20 and 21 October.
• The tender list holds active tenders only. Closed tenders and the tender history are not read.
• Each list page holds 50 rows. The Actor counts the rows it reads against the total the portal reports and stops when they match, when a page is empty, or at maxPages (default 60, enough for every active tender).
• The portal searches one keyword at a time. With several keywords and any, the Actor runs one search per keyword and removes duplicates. With all, the portal searches the first keyword and the Actor checks the others on the list fields.
• The tender list is roughly newest first. With onlyNew, the Actor stops after two list pages in a row with nothing new.
• Tender documents are not offered for download on the public pages. Award letters are linked as PDFs in awardDocumentUrl and are not downloaded.
• The Actor waits at least 1 second between requests and retries with backoff on HTTP 429, 5xx and network errors. If the portal blocks a cloud IP, it switches to a proxy by itself.
• Data comes from the public pages of epms.ppra.gov.pk. No login is used.
